Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH -’ 8: This message
shows that the electrical charging system is
overcharging (more than 16 volts). To avoid being
stranded, have the electrical system checked by your
dealership. You can reduce the charging overload by
using the accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set
the climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on HI,
and turn the rear window defogger on.
You can monitor
battery voltage on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
by pressing the
INFO button. The normal range is
11.5 to 15.5 volts when the engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW - 6: This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this
message appears immediately after starting,
it is possible
that the generator can still recharge the battery. The
battery should recharge and may take a few hours to do
so. Consider using an auxiliary charger to boost the
battery after returning home or to a final destination.
(Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when
recharging the battery.)
If this message appears while driving or after starting
your vehicle and stays on, have it checked immediately
to determine the cause of this problem.
To help the
generator recharge the battery quickly, you can reduce
the load on the electrical system by turning
off the
accessories. You can monitor battery voltage on the Driver Information Center (DIC) by pressing the
INFORMATION
(INFO) button. The normal range is
11.5 to 15.5 volts.
BRAKE VACUUM PROBLEM -108: The circuit in
the brake booster vacuum has shorted or is loose when
this message appears. Your vehicle may lose power
brakes but you will still have the use of manual brakes.
The power brakes will not be affected if the problem
is
caused by a failed sensor. Have your vehicle serviced
immediately at your dealership.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that the life
of the engine oil has expired and it should be changed
within
200 miles (322 km). See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations’’ in the Maintenance Schedule
booklet. After an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must be reset. For more information, see “How to Reset the
Oil Life Indicator” in the Index.
CHANGE TRANS FLUID - 47: This message will
appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
the Maintenance Schedule booklet for the proper fluid
and change intervals.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID - 37: This message will
display if the ignition is in RUN to inform the driver that
the brake fluid level is low. Check the brake reservoir
level and add fluid as needed. Have the brake system

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine As shown in the chart, SAE 1OW-30 is best for your
vehicle. However, you
can use SAE 5W-30 if it’s going
to be colder than 60” F (1 6°C) before your next oil
change. When it’s
very cold, you should use SAE
5W-30. These numbers on an oil container show its
viscosity, or thickness.
Do not use other viscosity oils,
such as
SAE 20W-50.
I NOTICE:
Use only engine oil with the American Petroleum
Institute Certified
For Gasoline Engines
“Starburst” symbol. Failure to use the
recommended oil can result in engine damage not
covered by your warranty.
GM Goodwrench@ oil meets all the requirements for
your vehicle.
If you are in
an area where the temperature falls below
-20°F (-29”C), consider using either an SAE 5W-30
synthetic oil or an SAE OW-30 oil. Both will provide
easier cold starting
and better protection for your engine
at extremely low temperatures.
Engine Oil Additives
Don’t add anything to your oil. Your dealer is ready to
advise if you think something should be added.
When to Change Engine Oil
Your vehicle has an Oil Life Indicator. This feature
will let you know when to change your oil
and
filter -- usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and
7,500 miles (12 500 km) since your last oil change.
Under severe conditions, the indicator may come
on
before 3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your
vehicle more than
7,500 miles (12 500 km) or
12 months (whichever occurs first) without an
oil change.
The system won’t detect dust in the oil.
So, if you
drive in a dusty area, be sure to change your oil every
3,000 miles (5
000 km) or sooner. Remember to reset
the Oil Life Indicator when the oil has been changed.
For more information, see “Oil Life Indicator”
in
the Index.

After the oil has been changed, display the OIL LIFE
LEFT message by pressing the INFORMATION (INFO)
button. Then press and hold the RESET (INFO RESET)
button until the display shows
“100.” This resets the
oil life index. The message will remain off until the
next oil change is needed. The percentage of oil life
remaining may be checked at any time by pressing the
INFORMATION (INFO) button several times until the
OIL LIFE LEFT message appears. For more
information on the oil life feature, see “Oil Life
Indicator”
in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain
elements that may be unhealthy for your
skin and could
even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay
on your skin
for
very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw
away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. (See
the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal
of oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil
from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil
by putting it in the trash, pouring
it on the ground, into sewers,
or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil.
If
you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil,
ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling
center for help.
Air Cleaner
The air cleaner is located next to the windshield washer
fluid reservoir on the driver’s side
of the engine. Be sure
the engine has cooled before following these steps to
replace the air cleaner filter:

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Automatic Transaxle Fluid
Operating the engine with the air cleaner off can
cause you or others to be burned, The air cleaner
not only cleans the air, it stops flame if the engine
backfires.
If it isn’t there, and the engine
backfires, you could be burned, Don’t drive with
it
off, and be careful working on the engine with
the air cleaner
off.
NOTICE:
If the air cleaner is off, a backfke can cause a
damaging engine fire. And, dirt can easily get
into your engine, which will damage it. Always
have the air cleaner in place when you’re driving.
When to Check and Change
A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid
level is when the engine oil is changed.
Change both the fluid and filter every
50,000 miles
(83 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under
one or more of these conditions:
0 In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature
0 In hilly or mountainous terrain. regularly reaches
90°F (32°C) or higher.
0 When doing frequent trailer towing.
0 Uses such as found in taxi, police or delivery service.
0 Use such as limousine service.
If you do not use your vehicle under any of these
conditions, the fluid and filter do not require change
until
the message CHANGE TRANS FLUID appears
on the Driver Information Center.
See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the
Maintenance Schedule booklet.
